Let the spikes hit the floor.

The Whidbey Island Volleyball Club U18 squad, which features nine Coupeville players, kicked off tournament play Sunday in Tacoma.

Even with Wolf big hitters Lucy Tenore and Grey Peabody sitting this one out, the Island team finished in a tie for 9th place out of 22 teams at the PJVBC Winter Classic.

Whidbey opened pool play by losing a three-set thriller to NW Juniors UA Black, falling 25-17, 25-23, 24-25.

Powered by their Coupeville spikers, the squad then rallied to beat Momentum Tsunami 25-19, 25-23, 23-25, earning second-place in its pool.

Advancing to the single-elimination gold bracket, Whidbey fell 25-12, 25-16 to Rainier U18 Summit.

The Island team features one South Whidbey player, three from Oak Harbor, and nine from Cory Whitmore’s Coupeville High School program.

It was a weekend of champions.

Whidbey Island youth teams claimed titles in volleyball and boys basketball, dominating play and sending tremors through the surrounding communities.

The Whidbey Volleyball Club U15 team, which features six Coupeville High School spikers, won an eight-team tourney in Burlington, continuing a season of excellence.

Meanwhile, Coupeville’s 8th grade SWISH boys basketball team emerged as champs from a seven-team royal rumble run by Skagit County Parks and Recreation.

Both victories bode well for the future of Wolf athletics, as athletes in both sports continue to find success in both school and non-school events.
